Lecture: Parshe [Parashah] Poetry / דאָס געזאַנג פֿון דער סדרה *IN YIDDISH*
Sunday December 22, 2024 4:15pm - 5:30pm EST
503 - Hebrew Union College
Even though Modern Yiddish poetry is generally thought of as a poetry created by heretics, atheists and agnostics, the khumesh remains a powerful force in their writings. This year Sheva Zucker undertook to create a blog that offers one or several poems linked to the parshe [weekly Toyre reading]. Sometimes it was the poet’s intent to create a medresh, an interpretation, on the Toyre portion, at other times, the parshe will illuminate the poem. In this class we shall look at a number of poems linked to Breyshis/Genesis by poets such as Malke Heifetz-Tussman, Rokhl Korn, Itsik Manger, Kadye Molodowsky, Avrom Sutzkever, Reyzl Zhikhlinski and others. The texts will be provided in both Yiddish and English.

In this session, the instructor will speak Yiddish and the participants can express themselves in either Yiddish or English.
